We met in FAST (Functional Academic Skills Training) class, which is less “romance radar” and more “rigorous training to boost GT scores.” She strutted into the room in a Drill Sergeant PT uniform, and I’ll admit—I locked eyes with her and my heart did three extra push-ups just to impress her. It was less a spark and more a full-on fire drill. From the moment our gazes collided, I knew she was the one God sent to save me from the evil forces of bad grades and boring weekends. She peered into my soul with that zero-defect gaze, and I peered back with a goofy grin and a notebook full of dad jokes I was saving for this exact moment. I thought, “That’s my wife.” Yes, the one God chose for me to love, laugh with, and occasionally borrow his excellent sense of humor from. We’ve both got the same mission now: to support, love, and laugh our way through this wild adventure called marriage—one clever Dad joke at a time. It turns out the real course wasn’t just GT scores; it was discovering that we were perfectly trained to be a team, teammates-for-life, and a duo who can march through anything—with a smile and a punchline.
